Common KROSS 88 MB Questions
How do I set up MIDI control with my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) using the KROSS 88 MB?
Connect the KROSS 88 MB to your computer via USB, ensure the KROSS is set to "USB MIDI" mode (found in the Global settings), and select the KROSS as your MIDI input/output device in your DAW's preferences. Remember to also select the correct MIDI channel for communication between the KROSS and your DAW tracks.
Where are my saved combis, programs, and drum kits stored, and how can I back them up or load them onto another KROSS 88 MB?
User programs, combis, and drum kits are stored in internal memory or on an optional SD card; use the Media menu to save the data as a .KROSS288 file (compatible with the KROSS 88 MB only) onto the SD card for backup or transfer, then use the "Load" function from the same menu on the destination KROSS 88 MB.
How do I quickly access my favorite sounds for live performance without having to scroll through menus constantly?
Assign your frequently used sounds (programs or combis) to the 16 Favorite sound slots using the 'Favorite' button and the onscreen menu; these can be quickly recalled during a performance using the corresponding numbered buttons.
My KROSS 88 MB is suddenly making no sound, even though the power is on and the volume is up. What should I check?
First, ensure the Local Control setting in Global mode is turned 'On' and that the headphones are not plugged in, as this mutes the main outputs; also verify the Master Volume knob and the individual level knobs of the oscillators in your patch.
What is the benefit of the built-in mic input on the KROSS 88 MB, and how can I use it effectively in my performance or recordings?
The mic input allows you to directly incorporate vocals or acoustic instruments into your performance, applying onboard effects like vocoder, delay, or reverb; adjust the mic gain and EQ settings within the Mic Input section of the KROSS's menu to optimize the sound.
